Registration for Elementary Faith Formation, Kindergarten thru 5th Grade will begin the week end of August 11th/12th and classes will begin the week of September 10th. All children registered and attending classes by October 1st will be eligible to receive their sacraments in the spring of 2019. Sacrament preparation begins in Kindergarten at St. Bernard's. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is received in the second grade and Confirmation and First Eucharist in the third grade, in this diocese. If you have a child beyond the thrid grade who is baptized and has made First Reconciliation and Eucharist, but needs Confirmation they need to enroll in thier grade level class and they will receive Confirmation preparation in class and receive the sacrament in the spring of 2019. Registration is open year round to any youth who have already received all of the sacraments of Initiation (baptism, confirmation, communion). We also have a Heriatge class on Thursday evenings for all youth in 3rd Grade through 8th Grade who have missed the sacraments at the younger ages or are over the age of 8 and need Baptism.

There is no registration before the week end of August 11th.There will be information packets in the Church and Parish Office beginning August 1st. These include a description of the Program, a list of class days and times for all grades and a calendar for the year. The catechists and I look forward to another year of Faith Formation in Our Parish Center with God's children at St. Bernard's. Please contact me at the Parish Office ext. 309 should you have any questions, comments or concerns about Elementary Faith Formation at St. Bernard's or if you would like to be a catechist for the 2018/2019 Faith Formation Year.
